Just successfully updated bios to 1013a,

Why not use 1014 beta 3 in the first place? Been available for over a
year now.

and need to know what hdd can I now
upgrade to. Can I just go down to my local Staples and buy a Maxtor 80 gig
ultra ata 100 now and plug it right into my primary eide connector?

With 1014 beta 3, it should work fine. However, Maxtors aren't my
favorites at the moment, the failure rate apparently is only fair. And
then UDMA33 is a rather severe bottleneck for a modern hard drive; a
UDMA100/133 controller may be worth considering.
